ACCORDING to Atty. Harry Roque, former presidential spokesperson, the disbarment case filed against him for his social media post on the polvoronic media is a desperate act of attention.
“The disbarment case filed against me for my social media post on the polvoronic media is a desperate act of attention.
Complaints of disbarment, first and foremost, should NOT be made in public.
We have to understand that the posting of the video in social-media is protected by free speech under the privileged doctrine. It involves a serious disease of a President that deserves an admission or denial. PBBM has not done either.
Also, the polvoronic video is a national security matter affecting the lives and future of millions of Filipinos. The authenticity and the content of the video deserve widespread discussion.
In any case, it is clear it does not prove that the President is an addict since the video is not capable of showing what is being snorted.
Sa lahat ng ito, isa lang ang sigurado: Pinupulbos ako ng Quad Committee dahil sa polvoronic video. Ayon na rin ito mismo sa mga dating kasamahan ko sa Kamara,” according to Atty. Harry Roque, Former Presidential Spokesperson.
